About Me

I've been playing music my whole life. I'm madly in love with the bass, but I can't chose between the double bass and my assortment of electric basses. I started out as an orchestral player, but as I got into high school and college I became absorbed in improvisational music of all kinds. These days I go to New England Conservatory and play with a bunch of serious players and study with some heavy cats.
